It was interesting to see a bit of snow fall in some higher areas since my last report a few days ago, but today is absolutely the last day of the 2017-2018 season.

Lovely weather this weekend and it's going to really warm up today.

It's actually quite cold this morning! And some fresh snow on the ground too! Much nicer than the rain yesterday, that's for sure.

Things are looking mid-winter once again this morning.

After some very strong winds yesterday that affected lift operations, today I introduce to you.... fresh snow.

It's great to see a bit of fresh snowfall here in Shiga Kogen this morning.

I am happy to report fresh snow on the ground!

When I got up earlier this morning it was snowing but right now there's some sun shining through the remaining clouds over in Kumanoyu.

And... it's back to winter.

I am hearing that we got rained on overnight (and we definitely got the strong winds) but happy to report that it changed into wet snow and there has actually been a few cm of it.

We had some clearer skies very early on this morning, but there is lots of cloud around now and that seems to be what we are expecting for the day.

It's another of those sunny mornings.

Cloudy skies at the start of the day here.

A little light snow falling earlier on, but that has cleared up for now and while there is still cloud around.
